Harley,
Bottom line , either get them from the factory, get them from a local vinyl guy, or pay the dealer a lot of profit above the cost of the first two choices. Pretty simple.

Ya, I am NOT paying $350 for Vinyl on my hood / Bonnet LOL. I would rather pay a little more and have them Painted on or just go withour,,, Had my 2007 for 11 years with out the stripes and ya know what it ran just fine, LOL
I still think they would look cool..

anyone here have a Single stripe done?

I am going to go looking for pictures of ideas

its a matte vinyl.

I did mine when I was working at a vinyl shop so it was free but we'd charge about $100 if that for install and product

The Mini vinyl surprisingly is pretty amazing.

I have an 02 Justa with stripes and it has survived California sun and Minnesota winter and looks great.

I've been happy with ones I have bought from Pixel Hut. I have not had them on long though. That said for $50 they seem nice and are such a quick job to do I am not worried. I am not a pro and have done multiple sets using wet method of install with ease.

Before you place the order ask if they they come with lamination and get ones you lay down wet with a mile soapy solution. They're easy to install yourself and save some more $$.
